We're beginning the build of a traditional tiny house in Zimbabwe. Take back your personal data with Incogni! Use code THENEWBYS at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: incogni.com/thenewbys

Our first build on our Zimbabwe homestead begins, a stone and thatch off-grid tiny house. If you missed our latest video on Explore, here it is: youtu.be/KDUac75AFnE

We’re a family building a different kind of life through adventure, travel and off-grid living. After years of van life, overlanding across Africa, road-tripping the USA and welcoming two little boys into the world, we bought an abandoned stone farm in the hills of Northern Portugal — and we’re rebuilding it by hand into a sustainable family home.

This channel follows the real journey: the wins, the setbacks, the risk, the mistakes, and the breakthroughs that come with choosing an unconventional life.

If you’re new here — welcome. And if you’ve been with us for the long haul — thank you for helping make this dream possible.
